Create an alias "mul" for -lang: syntax in Pywikibot

Currently for oldwikisource one needs to use the syntax ... -lang:- ... which is not obvious. With there having been a change to WMF configuration of oldwikisource to mul.wikisource it would seem reasonable to have an alias (or similar) to be able to use the syntax ... -lang:mul ...
